Practice and Politics of Corporal Punishment in Schools: a Case Study of District Peshawar, Pakistan PRACTICE AND POLITICS OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS: A CASE STUDY OF DISTRICT PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN Submitted By: AKHTAR MUNIR PhD Scholar Research Supervisor: PROF. DR. BASHARAT HUSSAIN A Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Social Work, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Peshawar, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Social Work DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR FEBRUARY, 2019 Abstract The practice of corporal punishment against children is a common phenomenon around the world. This study examined the phenomenon of corporal punishment in schools of Peshawar, Pakistan as very minimum research has been carried out on this issue in Pakistan. Previous studies proved that the practice of corporal punishment is associated with numerous negative impacts on children whilst others indicate positive impacts. The present study addressed a range of dimensions from physical to psychological and from sociological to religious doctrine, which are linked with the phenomenon of corporal punishment. The research was conducted in Peshawar, Pakistan. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic in Pakistan, the selected methodology was qualitative, adopting a purposive sampling technique for participant selection. A sample of fifty interviewees was achieved; ten each of teachers, parents, child psychologists, religious scholars and non- government organization workers. Data was collected through in-depth interviews using an interview guide. To enhance validity and reliability data was triangulated with field notes and analysis of relevant policy documents and the research literature. Informed consent was obtained from each participant and data anonymity and confidentiality was ensured. Applied discourse analysis of interview data found that participants were supportive of the practice of corporal punishment in some cases. Cultural acceptability, personal experience in the past, achieving academic goals, lack of awareness, illiteracy, religious factors, anger, work stress, school environment, teacher’s frustration and teachers lack of understanding of child behaviour are some of the main causes of corporal punishment i practice. Negative impacts of corporal punishment on children were also recognized by respondents. These included; an increase in anti-social behaviour and aggression, escalation to physical abuse, spoiled creativity, lack of courage, anxiety, depression, frustration, poor academic achievement, criminal tendencies, promoting a culture of violence and drop out from school. Conversely, some participants consider corporal punishment beneficial for adult respect, obedience and the achievement of academic goals. The study provides research based policy recommendations for abolishing corporal punishment from schools including; educational system reform, mass awareness, teacher training programmes, promoting alternative methods for behaviour modification to teachers and parents, strengthening of parents-teachers council, dealing with teachers own frustration, following the real meaning of Islamic teaching, effective legislation and implementation, opening up complaint mechanisms, effective monitoring, evaluation and accountability, prioritizing child rights, enhancing government interest in child education, advocacy seminars on child rights, promoting a culture of rewards and appreciation in schools and appointing Social Worker’s and Child Psychologists to support the strategy. This combination of measures will be helpful in dealing with the practice of corporal punishment in schools of Pakistan. ii Dedication Firstly, I would like to dedicate this work to the memory of my late parents Wali Muhammad (1943-2002) and Zarwari Begum (1953-2013) who sadly passed away before the completion of this work. Secondly, I would also like to dedicate this work to my family. There are no words to express my gratitude to them. Thank you for your support, kindness and encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that has kept me motivated and enthusiastic about this study. Lastly, I would like to dedicate this work to the children of Pakistan who suffer from neglect, exploitation and violence not only in schools but also in homes, and to the professionals, researchers and pediatrician who are working tirelessly to make Pakistan a safe place for children. iii Acknowledgments First and the foremost, I wish to give praise to Almighty Allah who has bestowed upon me the courage, wellbeing and determination to complete my doctoral studies with great passion, zeal and enthusiasm.

Not only narcotics and illegal drugs are trafficked through Pakistan to other countries, but a sizeable quantity of these substances are consumed among the local population. This has created a two fold challenge. Firstly, narcotics trafficking is earning a bad name for the country, secondly, the local consumption of these substances is causing a great harm to the social fabric of our society. The most vulnerable segments of population are youth, street children and student community at large. The Government of Pakistan has been aware of this challenge and has taken many steps to stem the tide of this menace. The very creation of Ministry of Narcotics Control in the year 1989 is an evidence of our resolve to put in place effective policy and operational mechanisms to check the drug trafficking and abuse in the country. Since the assumption of office by the present Government the Narcotics Control Division (NCD) is actively engaged in many areas relating to narcotics control, drugs supply reduction, demand reduction, and rehabilitation of addicts. We have also accelerated our contact with other international development partners – both at multi-lateral and bi-lateral levels.

Minister for Railways (Haji Ghulam Ahmad Bilour): (a) The main reasons of losses of Pakistan Railways are as under :— 1. Less availability of locomotives due to deferred maintenance of old fleet on account of paucity of funds which has badly affected passenger and freight train operations, the main source of earning for Pakistan Railways. 2. Pakistan Railways is a public service entity and does not operate purely on commercial lines. It has to keep operative some un- remunerative and un-economical routes in larger public interest. 3. Increase in salaries of Government employees, and relief provided to pensioners has added to the financial burden. 4. Increase in fuel, gas and electricity costs, have also contributed to rising deficit. 2 5. Damages to Railways assets worth Rs. 6.73 billion due to floods of 2010/2011 is another contributory reason causing losses. 6. Deficient investment in rolling stock, which would have enhanced the capacity to reduce the deficit. (b) Following steps are being taken by the Government to control the said losses:— 1.
